Configuring meters

Metering, or QoS traffic policing, operates at ingress and provides different levels
of service to data streams through user-configurable parameters. An example
would be to limit traffic entering a port to a specified bandwidth, such as 25 Kb/s
(Committed Rate). Instead of dropping all traffic that exceeds this threshold,
traffic policing allows you to configure a Committed Burst Rate to exceed the
threshold (Committed Rate), for a brief period of time, without being dropped.
